4th Left:Quality is an obsession with John Cahill, and his
wines command a strong following.

5th Left: Cahill's wines can be purchased from the Carrollee Hotel's
bottle shop in Kingaroy, but only if you're quick! All past releases
have completely sold out.

Bottom:Cindy and John Cahill relaxing with their Wine Dog
outside the homestead. They plan to open a cellar door on the property in
the next few years.

Cahills Wines are a boutique wine producer whose vineyards are located
19km due east of Kingaroy on a ridge of the Booie Range. Cahills Wines
are owned by John and Cindy Cahill and their Kingaroy Ridge
vineyards were established in 1998.

Cahills currently grow 5 acres of shiraz and chardonnay grapes, and
plan to expand the vineyards to approximately 10 acres in 2011. Their vineyards
are hand-tended and watered by a drought-proof irrigation system.

Cahills produce a limited release of their shiraz and chardonnay each
year, along with a port. The wines were originally produced for them by acclaimed
Kingaroy winemaker John Crane, but are now produced by Crane Wines' new owner
Bernie Cooper.

Cahills Wines don't have a cellar door - there are plans to build
one in the next few years once the vineyard expansion has been put in place
- so their property isn't open to the public at the present time.

However, their wines can be obtained through the Carrollee Hotel's
drive-though bottle shop in Haly Street, Kingaroy or by mail order
from the farm.
